“A champion is someone who does not settle for that day’s practice, that day’s competition, that day’s performance. They don’t live in the past. You can’t step out onto the field and expect anyone to roll over because of what you did a year before. Champions think about that everyday. You need to stay on the edge of your game. You need to get better every year. You need to leave them in the dust and leave no question of who is the best. That’s what a champion is, that person who perseveres and doesn’t ever get satisfied with what they have done in the past.”
